Human beings must be willing to accept people or opinions different from ourselves. We recently viewed "My So Called Enemy," read "Texas vs. Johnson" by: William J. Brennan and "American Stands for Tolerance" by: Ronald J. Allen.

The author states on lines 37-39 "The way to preserve the flag special role is not to punish those who feed differently matter. It is to persuade them that they are wrong." Because of this we can't punish or treat others differently because of what their opinions/beliefs we can only try persuading them without offending. Second, on lines 40-43 for "American Flag Stands for Tolerance" it states "My point is that freedom of conscience and expression is at the core of ourselves conception and requires the rejection of official dogma." This demonstrates that having freedom could cause people rejection which people won't think the same and could lead to disagreements. "The ultimate irony would have been to punish views expressed by burning the flag if you have something against with it. In conclusion, we all have different opinions but we should be willing to accept others even though we think differently. "My So Called Enemy" the six girls disliked each other but later they became friends. For "Texas vs. Johnson" a man wanted to express himself about the American Flag by burning it and many people wanted to punish him even though he was protected by the Amendment. This demonstrates that human beings must be willing to accept people and their opinions that are different from

In The Hypocrisy of American Slavery, Frederick Douglas talks to his audience about his reaction when he was asked to speak on Independence Day to a crowd of abolitionists at Rochester, New York.. His reaction being that he doesn’t really understand why he was asked to deliver a speech there, he doesn't feel as if he has a reason to celebrate; because he, along with most other African Americans didn’t feel free, and at that time there were still millions of African Americans who legitimately weren’t. He tries to convince his audience that we shouldn’t be celebrating independence day simply because, half the country wasn’t free at the time. He does this using Foreshadowing, Irony, and symbolism.

At the core of each of the different arguments of the Constitution is the issue of human nature and how it relates to government. In his objection, Richard Henry Lee points out that human nature is the reason the Constitution is ineffective in securing liberties because too much power is given to too few and this majority can be abused. However, James Madison states that people cannot be left to completely govern themselves, because ultimately human nature causes discord and chaos and there must be a system in place that correctly checks the destructive results of the human nature. In his argument for the Constitution, Madison looks at both sides of the dispute giving greater credibility to his conclusion.

Without acceptance, friendships, relationship, group projects, and college would not be possible. Acceptance makes interactions among people who share nothing in common possible. Appiah introduces the concept of acceptance as amends for differences with what he called the Cosmopolitans. " Cosmopolitans think that it 's OK for people to be different.

In using the story line from Maus, a story about the Holocaust in comic form, and the United States of America’s very own Declaration of Independence, we can see how history has shaped the society we live in today. The Declaration was written so that the American society could establish the main and lasting fact that all men are created equal and there are certain unalienable rights that governments should never violate. These rights include the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This fundamental foundation is the very fabric in which the United States greatness is built upon. Maus, on the other hand, takes the most horrific event of modern civilization and shows the complete opposite, how an individual can live in a world where you are persecuted for who you are, you have no right to liberty or the pursuit of happiness.

Was Johnson really exercising his right to free speech while burning the American flag? Some would argue he did, but others will say he didn’t. In most cases, majority would say he wasn’t practicing free speech which lead him to dishonor the U.S. flag. Flag burning will endanger the symbol of the role as representation of nationhood and national unity. We would be permitting a Sate to “prescribe what shall be orthodox” by saying that one may burn the flag to convey one’s attitude toward it and its referents only if one does not endanger the flag’s representation.

Instead, this events are treated as if they were happening elsewhere and this bodies are the bodies of the “them” not “us.” So if “they” become excluded form full humanity, according to the moral intuition of conservatives, it is acceptable because the out-group didn’t try hard enough to become outstanding citizens and embrace extremist views of bringing back a “great country,” which was founded in slavery and segregation. Considering, what defines a great country to conservatives; it is no surprise that during the event, members carried confederate flags and American flags. Given the recent removal of the confederate flag, conservatives show much fear that the culture they have always defended is vanishing at a speed that is not under their control.

The author refers to human consciousness as possessing sanctity, while the officials as commanding. The flag, which was at the center of the issue, is described as a symbol, as something so sacred that it’s in par with the Constitution, and the government keeps being portrayed as imposing, and as a class of its own separated from the people whom they are supposed to serve. Controversy is given emotions of its own, and associated with enlightenment, and new commitments. Clearly, the author purposefully placed value on human consciousness, the flag, the Constitution, and controversy while he undermined the government because that was the core of his argument. The tenets of the government should not have a higher place than the people, and the Constitution, even if they are related to symbols like the American flag, and controversy, is the major way in which the official dogmas can be brought into
